Nano osmolator/ 2 questions

Hello,

1) How to you aline the magnets up correctly?

2) my sump glass 6mm thick would this affect the float?

It just seems to be working correctly.

How far should the float switch sit above the stationary switch piece?

The thing isn't working at all. Came home from work and the whole thing was out the water. The water in the return had evaporated but the sensor obviously didn't switch the pump on to top up. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and the it came on so there isn't an issue with the metering pump.

Thanks

6mm is quarter inch so that should be fine. The magnets should be directly in line so they shadow each other, it is possible to have an offset as there are 2 magnets in each older, they can be offset so only one of each line up. Is the timer described on pages 21-29 set correctly for your tank size?

My tank water volume is approx 280L so does this need adjusting as its factory set?
